CLEANING THE FILTER
Your vacuum has a high efficiency
dust cup to maintain strong suction by
preventing debris from collecting on
the filter. To maintain strong suction,
it is important to clean the foam filter
every month, under normal use.
1 Turn off the vacuum and remove
the dust cup.
2 Remove the foam filter (fig. 9) and
rinse under water until the water
runs clear. (fig. 10) Squeeze the
excess water out of the filter and
let it air dry for 24 hours before
replacing.
• DO NOT use a hair dryer or
other forced hot air to dry the
filter.
• DO NOT operate the vacuum
without the filter in place.
• DO NOT operate the vacuum
with a wet filter.
NOTE: It is normal for your foam filter
to discolor over time; it will not
affect the filter performance.
CLEANING THE MOTORIZED BRUSH AND CLEARING BLOCKAGES
An accumulation of hair, string, and
other debris may sometimes become
caught and wrapped around the
rotating brush. The motorized brush
must be free from debris for maximum
cleaning performance. To clean the
brush roll and clear blockages:
1 Ensure the vacuum is off.
2 Press the nozzle release button
and remove the motorized brush.
